The good roads this winter have reyiv-
ed certain kind of trade in this city
which for years has played rather I'M
important part in the business of the city
The four principal firms which purchase
wood, posts and ties,-Torrison, Schuette,
Hall and Book, have this winter purchas-
ed in the aggregate 5000 ties, which at
an average of % cents, make disburse-
ment of S10,5S0 for this item. The same
firms have on hand 1,175 cords of wood
which at an average of $500 per cord, foot
up to $685.. Posts and telegraph poles
have cost about $1,000. For these three
items there have been paid out by the
firms named S15,105. The small dealers
in these articles and those who simply
take what is offered, have about 500 cords
OF wood on hand, and about 5000 ties.
costing in the aggregate about $780,
By private parties there have been pur-
chased about 800 cords of wood at an
average cost of $500 per cord, marking
$4,000. The Dry Dock Company have
purchased about 100000 feet of timber at
an average cost of $40 per NJ, making
$4,000. So that in the aggregate there
has been paid out for wood and timber
thus far this winter the sum of $3O,955.
These figures are below rather than above
the actual outlay, and is quite large
amount to be paid out for timber in
county in which the forests are said to be
cleared away. The docks are crowded
and every available spot in the city is
used for wood yard. A good winter
creates quite boom in business, and
Manltowoc offers market for everything
the farmer chooses to bring.

Mr.. KEoUGH's bill to destroy the vo-
cation of the election striker in Milwau-
kee should be made to include all voting
precincts in the state. The ticket ped
dler is getting to be something of nui-
sance and many of them peddle tickets
for all political parties. This bill pro-
vides that the different tickets be placed
where they can be secured by voters with
out difficulty and without interference.
The voter then passes through hail,
deposits his ballot and quits the voting
room. But the law will not apply to
places under $4,000. 1t should be gen.
eral law.

EVERY one whose acquaintance with
Forrest is not intimate, gets the idea that
he is a cold impersonation of the law, and
that the color of his thought is inexorably
professional. Some years ago when he
went fishing up the River and drew the
shining beauties out with such vim that
he slung them across the Peninsula, peo-
pie We're unable to explain the phenome-
non. But he is capable of still further
DETECTION from the perpendicular rigidity
of extreme professional ideas. On Friday
last he went through the complicated
movements of difficult dance with pre-
cision, methodical exactness and grace,
albeit with solemnity and the deliberation
suited to court of law. He was quickly
followed in the realm of youthful jollity"
by some other lawyers present and a
couple of physicians who thought they
could caper as nimbly as Forrest could
but their movements were hoidenish in
contrast. Forrest is a versatile "cuss"
even with his feet.

The Sheboygan County News in pub
fishing an account of the Indian scare of
1862, incidentally treats of the scare in
Centerville this county. A company had
been organized in Herman, a town in
Sheboygan county, south of Centerville.
This company received orders to march
to Centerville, where it was reported the
Indians were busy at the work of
destruction. 1t did so and after remain
ing there for awhile returned, being
satisfied there were no hostile Indians in
the neighborhood.
popularity of that scare was that it
extended through the state, seemed to
have no origin and though resting on the
most improbable grounds affected almost
every one. In every town the Indians
were reported as doing their murderous
work In the adjoining town north. In
the city of Manitowoc the entire popula-
ton scampered over to the south side
mainly the non-combatants- the
bridge was swung SO as to hinder the
Indians advance. The court house was
put in a condition to withstand siege.
The Spartan spirits of the women became
manifest, and evidently expecting a
charge from the Noble Red Men, barrels
of boiling water were prepared and
women stood ready to douse it on the
Indians should they appear For the
time they abandoned the broomstick as
an article of warfare and took to hot
water, presumably, because the broom
stick is to be used only on refractory
husbands.

WHEN a teacher fails to conduct his
school in proper manner and is negh-
gent or incompetent, he can be discharg-
ed by the school board without the inter
vention of the superintendent. In fact
the superintendent has nothing to do
with the matter further than to pass upon
the qualification of the teacher. All the
power rests In the hands of the board
and they should have the courage to act
when it is necessary they should.

ONE of the most perfect counterfeit
gold coins was lately discovered at the

have the true ring, and are the same size
except that they are little thicker In the

LADIES MUSLIN UNDERWEAR.

We have just opened our newly arrived
muslin underwear all of which was bought
from an eastern manufacturer who has
the reputation of turning out goods equal
to the best homemade, and at the same
time the most beautiful garments You
may say when you see them, "they are
too lovely for anything" Yet think the
best would just suit you, and we would
probably think so too. 1t will cost you
nothing to look at them.

DON'T MISS A RARE TREAT.


1t is evident that those who fail to hear
the Jubilee Singers from Fisk University
Nashville, Tenn, at the Opera House to-
night, will miss an exceedingly pleasing
entertainment, such as one rarely has the
opportunity Of enjoying. The press
throughout the state are lavish in their
praises of them. A number of our citi-
zens have heard from friends outside, who
learning that the company were coming
here, wrote voluntarily urging them to
attend, saying: Its fne;" don't you
miss it" they are the best on the road"
etc. Such testimony is worth more than
anything that can be presented.
If this meets your eye at this late mo-
ment and you have not planned to go, do
50 without delay. Remember in such
small halls there is no great choice of
seats for concert, you can hear well in
one part of the house as another.
TIE experience of good thrifty farmer
is of great value. 1t should receive care
full consideration. Mr.. J. l.. Edwards of
Meme, was in my office the other day.
He related his experience with ensilage
or fodder corn. He planted two acres of
it last year, and although the drought
affected it, still it was 10 or II feet high.
1T was" said he my only salvation, and
was worth $500 to me, those very two
acres, and I will tell you why. 1 was
able with it to keep my large number of
stock, which 1 otherwise would have been
forced to sell at sacrifice"
Mr.. Edwards purchased seed for four
acres fodder corn and ordered a corn
planter, as he said it was hard and expen-
sive business to SOW by hand when ma
chine could be bought for $1,000.
